ICJ have never been able to enforce their judgements,, and I dont think we have a history of doing it
Does anyone have an URL - but the international law on this is pretty strightforward, 1) war is bad 2) invading and occupying a coutry is also bad. 3) Israel has done (2) and therefore it is bad.
I did pass an exam in this you know ( aw shucks, PP you sholdnt boast) - no no it did have international law part I and Part II on the top etc
Why should we?
The ICJ has no powers to implement its opinions and like most UN institutions is a complete waste of time and money, serving only to provide "jobs for the boys".
It's taken that "court" 57 years to come up with an opinion on Israel's occupation of disputed land in that area and it seems odd that they've done so only since the atrocities committed by Hamas. I see no reason why the UK should put ourselves out to help enforce the court's opinion.
should a country be allowed to simply invade and occupy surrounding territories against the will of the people who live there? should they be permitted to take the land and brutalise those people?
the vast majority of people in gaza, the west bank, and the golan heights do not wish to be part of israel and are very often treated with violence (including torture and mass murder) if they protest it--even if they do so peacefully.
why should our governments support such a situation? how can it possibly be consistent with the rules of the UN?
